A Server Farm is a collection of computer servers used to accomplish server needs beyond the capability of one machine. Server farms often have backup (redundant) servers, which can take over the function of primary servers in the event of a primary server failure.
IMPORTANT: If a new server is added to the farm using SAN storage and existing cameras are transferred to it, contact Aimetis Support to ensure that old data is accessible, camera ownership changes successfully, and SAN failover continues to work.
